Abstract

We have shown previously that ethanol vapours (given by 2 ml per kg of
grapes) can prevent Botrytis development and stem browning, two of the major
problems in postharvest quality of table grapes. In the present paper, we will give
emphasis to preliminary results about (i) the role of ethanol vapours in the inhibition
of berry shatter and (ii) the control of ethylene evolution from grapes bunches by
ethanol vapours and the link to the control of Botrytis
